Sichuan & Mandarin cuisine, famous for Peking Duck and spicy dishes























"Chef Eric Huang of Pecking House will bring his Sichuan chile-laced fried chicken to San Francisco again on Sunday, February 11 for a one-day-only Super Bowl pop-up at Lord Stanley. Additionally, there will be a longer pop-up at the Flamingo Resort in Santa Rosa as part of Turntable’s touring pop-up residencies from February 16 through February 29." - Dianne de Guzman
"An apartment fire on Sunday, October 29 caused significant water damage to the building housing Chili House on Clement Street, forcing a temporary closure; a representative says it is currently unclear when Chili House will reopen." - Dianne de Guzman
"I enjoy dong po rou and a dong po pork shoulder here as examples of Zhe-style (Hangzhou/Shaoxing) braised pork belly." - Momo Chang
"The smell of peppercorns will draw you into Chili House. The small-ish Szechuan restaurant in the Richmond doesn’t hold back on the spice. Fish filets bathe in a bowl of firetruck-red oil and the mapo tofu leaves a lingering tingle on your lips. Working your way through the menu could take years, and a spreadsheet or two, but know that focusing on seafood like prawns—or any dish involving the words “chili” and “oil”—are the guaranteed paths to success. The space is always packed with huge groups, from families and quadruple dates to friends finishing an entire Peking duck in record time." - Julia Chen
"Two extremely delightful restaurants hit the Outer Richmond this year, adding to an already excellent general dining vicinity and turning eyes towards a very residential, foggy neighborhood. The Inner and Outer Richmonds now have Violet’s and Pearl 6101 in addition to Fiorella, PPQ Dungeness Island, Chili House, and all the gems on Clement Street." - Ellen Fort
